You Me At Six-Sinners Never Sleep Digipak Analysis

 

This is the Digipak of You Me At Six-Sinners Never Sleep. You Me Six are a pop-rock/punk band. As we can see, the digipak is in black and white and no other colour at all, even though this makes it rather dull, it is rather effective as we can easily see all the different line and contours of the shapes and letters. This is an effective digipak as it appeals to its audience as the image is clear. Also, it obeys the conventions of a digipak as it is Six panels, The inside consists of pictures of the band, holding plaques that say their names on them, this makes it an effective way to introduce the band as well as showing everything about them. However, there is a distinct lack of band information as well as lacking other similar things. However, the conventions of, Front cover, track list and pictures are still there. This digipak represents the band as pop-rock/punk because of the dull colours used as well as the pictures of the band and their costume fitting in with the genre as well as appealing to the audience, which is teens and young adults due to the fact that the audience will possibly wear similar clothing. This represents the band as younger and new, as the genre is about.

The meaning of this digipak is to show a rebellious side of music, such as represented by the front cover which is a board that is often held by criminals when they went to prison for their mug shots, this shows it as somewhat against popular culture as well as against certain aspects of society.
